Association of functional and social factors with domain-specific quality of life profiles in children with cerebral palsy: findings from a low- and middle-income country.
Article in BMC research notes, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate domain-specific quality of life and its associations with functional severity, selected comorbidities, and social factors among children with cerebral palsy attending a tertiary referral centre in Sri Lanka.
resultsAmong 223 children, 61.9% were male and the mean age was 6.99 years. Quality-of-life scores varied markedly across domains. Daily activities, school activities, movement and balance, eating activities, and speech and communication showed wide score dispersion, whereas pain and fatigue showed ceiling effects. Scores declined progressively with increasing Gross Motor Function Classification System level across analysed domains, with strong monotonic trends observed (Kendall's τ - 0.57 to - 0.72; all p < 0.001). Epilepsy, cognitive impairment, cortico-visual impairment, hearing impairment, and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease were associated with lower overall or domain-specific scores in unadjusted analyses. In adjusted models focused on measured social factors, age, sex, living arrangement, and parental education were not independently associated with the analysed domain scores. Domain-level assessment may provide clinically informative quality-of-life profiles that are not captured by overall scores alone.
